Abstract

In this report, the Rural Business Development Corporation is referred to as ‘the Corporation’ or ‘the RBDC’. The RBDC is an independent statutory authority of the Government of Western Australia (WA), established under the Rural Business Development Corporation Act 2000 (Act). The Act preserved and continued the body corporate established by the Rural Adjustment and Finance Corporation Act 1993.

What we do

The RBDC administers approved assistance schemes on behalf of the WA Government for the benefit of rural industry and regional communities. Approved schemes may provide financial assistance by way of loans, grants, or other financial incentives. The Act allows the RBDC to administer assistance schemes that are approved by both the Minister for Agriculture and Food and the Treasurer. The RBDC can also provide advice to the Minister on a range of rural issues. The RBDC works with farmers, fishers and foresters, and liaises with industry organisations and other stakeholders to ensure evidence supports its advice and actions. The RBDC supports viable and sustainable primary producers and small businesses in rural and regional WA.
